2- He always sees the good in every situation

3- He loves our kids & recognizes each of their own talents

4- He is fun & I can be crazy around him

5- He is the most patient person I know

6-He is smart & learns new skills & trades

7- He happily provides for our family & works HARD

8- He Loves Me for who I am :)

9- He likes to play games & hang out with family

10- He is talented at everything he tries!

11- He is affectionate (sometimes a little too much, to tease me in front of people)

12- He knows his purpose & has an amazing FAITH in God

**I love you Jas - thanks for being an awesome example to me & our kiddos! Here's to another Eternity of Anniversaries :)

Christmas 2010

**As always I take way too many pictures- big SHOCKER, NO I realize it is an addiction, so I have only posted a handful of random ones....

*The boys looooove to wrestle with Ryker

*Jason put together this bad boy in the dark!! (train set) We hid it for the kids last present & it was to the side of their beds!

*Some of Treyg's fav's: Zhu zhu car, DVD, Legos, Lite Brite

Lil lady & her kitchen & fun toys

*had to make sure to feed the reindeer

*Yo Yo Yo... What up?!

*one of the Nativities - betcha didn't realize they had cell phones - Kai is showing you!

We had another Fabulous Christmas, even if I had a hard time getting in the mood to decorate this year! Holidays always seem to come & go quicker every year - what's the deal with that? All 3 pups went to their new homes :( sad for us, happy for them. We celebrated Christmas with several fun parties, acted out the Nativity, had White Elephant Gift exchange & had too much yummy food! (just as I was doing soo good- getcha everytime!)

**Kidlets got more than enough (as always :) highlight gifts: Creed-Nintendo DS, Treygen- $ (& toys) he wouldn't tell us a whole lot of what he wanted, easy kid! Tekai - Batcave, Cayzli - Pink Kitchen (sooo adorable); & the infamous Train Table they've been wanting forever came too :) & yes of course we had to make something LATE Christmas Eve, (Aprons for kiddos) because what is Christmas in our household without doing that?! Some of the past few years have been: Jason's 375 blocks he made the kids & we painted until 3am, & Big Foot Pillows for kids. Aww just caught up in the Magic of it all -haha :)

**We left the day after Christmas for Vernal. Jason is working for Halliburton, so we went with him for the week, & FROZE our lil tushies off! It was 5 below zero & bitter cold. We had a good time swimming in the indoor pool, playing in the snow (plenty of that to go around) playing games with family & just hanging out! We drove home New Year's Eve & we watched the temperature drop even colder as we headed more south. It hit 18 below zero just outside of Cove Fort! I'm not built for that cold stuff- fun to play in the snow & visit. We were honking & yelling "Happy New Year" on the road-- didn't quite make it home in time. We were reminded of the time we travelled through Texas on the 4th of July & watched fireworks from the freeway as we drove :) It is fun memories like this with our family, that I love! It doesn't matter where we are, as long as it's together. HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011 -- BRING ON THE FUN!!

Cayzli Raine is 2

December 12th, 2008 was a special day for our family. We were so excited to get our little auburn headed angel here! 5 tiny lbs. 13 little oz. she melted our hearts & we just couldn't get enough of her....... 2 years later: it just gets better & better! Just minutes old

Just days old

*lil sweet pea

*1 year old - loves her shoes!

*2 year old

BIG 2 year old girlfriend

Just woke up & Bros had to have her open presents!

*Our sweet Cayzli Raine loves shoes, bracelets, dresses, bows & everything baby! She loves to play duck duck goose, hide & seek & jump on her big bros. She sings, dances & rocks her pups to sleep. She still sucks her 2 middle fingers & says "I love you" too! She is talking more & more & has a little sassy attitude to go with it. Cayz was a picky eater to begin with & didn't hit 6lb until she was 2 months old & only weighed 14 1/2 lbs at 1 she fit into newborn & size 1 shoes at one year. She now weighs 23lbs loves bread, string cheese, craisins, cereal, coco's (cookies) riding wiggle cars, climbing on the jungle gym & has little Flintstone feet (wide & pudgey) ...mmmmm she is so yummy & we still can't get enough of her! We are so blessed to have our little baby girl complete our family :)

Happy Birthday Cayzer Cojo- you are our beautiful princess!!

November Goods

November was filled with all sorts of events every week! Creed was baptized the 1st weekend. The boys football season ended with the BIG (National) Championship Game that they won & had an undefeated season. We had a FABULOUS Family Vacation to the beautiful Resort La Quinta Waldorf Astoria in Palm Springs. Thanksgiving was great with the family at Kyle & Laurie's house & we made Black Friday not so "Black/Sad" this year & kept busy shopping & playing games with the family. We are so thankful for family, a place to live & good health! I miss my daddy but am also sooo thankful for Eternal Families.
